Cherax peknyi, its from Paupa New Guinea (the Fly River Drainage). Cool crayfish, don't get tagged by the claws, though, they've got some serious power for their size.

hmm, after looking at the cherax peknyi information they appear to be the same species as cherax misolicus. while i may be in error, i wonder if someone could clarify the differences, or if they are just different names for the same species
